You're live with Newsround on CBBC. I'm Leah, it's Thursday morning. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Coming up. We meet the robots inspired by animals. | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
And did Manchester City do enough to beat Barcelona? Keep watching. | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
First to Sochi, where Britain's wheelchair curlers are currently on | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
the ice facing the US. Aileen Neilson's team are currently down by | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
6-2. They didn't get off to a good start and were found themselves 5-1 | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
down after five ends but their game play has improved. It's a busy day | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
for the curlers with Great Britain also facing China later on today. | :00:42. | :00:55. | |
Next conservation charities say that Fracking has the potential to | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
devastate wildlife habitats across the country. The study is the first | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
UK-wide report into the environmental costs of fracking, but | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
the industry says that current regulations are strict enough to | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
protect wildlife. Next up, I bet some of you guys have | :01:13. | :01:17. | |
been told to tuck your school shirts in and straighten up your ties every | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
now and again. But are your teachers any better when it comes to how | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
smart they dress? Well, some staff at a London school have been | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
criticised by education inspectors for being too casual. They're | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
worried adults may be setting a bad example to pupils by wearing casual | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
clothes in lessons. We want to hear from you. How smart do your teachers | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
dress? Do you think it matters what they wear? Head over to the website | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
and tell us what you think. All week on Newsround we've been | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
showing you the ground breaking technology behind the next wave of | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
robots. Well now, researchers are developing machines based on some of | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
the smallest and fastest creatures on planet earth. Ricky went to meet | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
the scientists who are creating robots by looking very closely at | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
these. Ants! We have entered this exciting phase | :01:58. | :02:17. | |
in robotics where the technology is taking inspiration from nature. And | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
from humans. We are trying to make robots that will work in the real | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
world. Which is an untidy place. The world is full of amazing creatures | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
who get on perfectly well in the real world. They provide us with | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
inspiration and fantastic design. Tell us about the swarm and how | :02:47. | :02:55. | |
those robots operate. It is meant to behave like a colony of ants. The | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
way that they forage for food. Some scientists argue there's not much | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
point in basing a robot on human because we are too complex. So they | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
turned their attention to robots inspired by biology. Things like a | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
grasshopper or even a flea. There are plenty of people still | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
interested in robots that look and behave like people at many of us | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
realise most robots we need in the real world do not want to look like | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
people. Head over to the website to see our | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
amazing gallery of robots that have been inspired by our furry friends. | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
And while you're there check out the gallery of your techno-tastic robot | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
designs you've been sending us in all week. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Sport now and I think this says it all. Manchester City couldn't quite | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
stop the mighty force of Barcelona. They're out of the Champions League | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
after a 2-1 defeat last night - 4-1 overall. Lionel Messi and Dani Alves | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
scoring for Barcleona. Vincent Kompany scoring the only goal of the | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
game for City over two ties! Loving the Alves celebration there. There's | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
no better news for Andy Murray fan either this morning because | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
Britain's number one is out of the Indian Wells tennis tournament in | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
Paris. Andy was beaten in three sets by Canadian Milos Raonic. Victory | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
was completed in a little over two hours. Murray's next tournament | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
starts in Miami on 17 March. And there's always time for some | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
pictures of rare tiger cubs - these three were born at London Zoo. This | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Sumatran tigress gave birth to the triplets last month and keepers are | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
now confident the cubs are healthy, so have released these images of | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
them, filmed by a hidden camera. The Sumatran tiger is listed as | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
critically endangered, and there's only about 300 in existence. | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
Join me at 08.15 when Martin will be reporting from The Big Bang Fair in | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
Birmingham, the largest celebration of science and tech for in children | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
in the UK. See you then. Goodbye. | :04:59. | :05:00. |
